If you have not heard/viewed his speech, I cannot recommend it enough. Wonderful man. Will be sorely missed.

When Pausch agreed to give the talk, he was participating in a long-standing academic tradition that calls on professors to share their wisdom in a theoretical "last lecture." A month before the speech, the 46-year-old Pausch was told he had only months to live, a prognosis that heightened the poignancy of his address.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-pausch26-2008jul26,0,1202748.story"> Pausch gave an abbreviated version of it on "Oprah" and expanded it into a best-selling book, "The Last Lecture," released in April.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-pausch26-2008jul26,0,1202748.story"><DIV>
Yet Pausch insisted that both the spoken and written words were designed for an audience of three: his children, then 5, 2 and 1.</DIV>

"I was trying to put myself in a bottle that would one day wash up on the beach for my children," Pausch wrote in his book.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-pausch26-2008jul26,0,1202748.story"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.latimes.com/img/7B1C6778-8108-417F-A6D5-E0D698682553" alt="Randy Pausch | 1960-2008" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-pausch26-2008jul26,0,1202748.story"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.latimes.com/img/02F53920-8290-442F-A68E-741C79159BA5" alt="Video: Pausch's 'Last Lecture'" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D6923E4D-B9D5-48C8-BB6B-5ED358FA5348/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
